PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD November ,____, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Your proxy is solicited by the board of directors of City Capital Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“City Capital” or the “Company”) for use at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on November, ____, 2006, and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the attached notice of special meeting.
The cost of soliciting proxies, including preparing, assembling and mailing the proxies and soliciting material, will be borne by the Company. Directors, officers, and regular employees of the Company may, without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies personally, by telephone or electronic communication including facsimile and electronic mail.
Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its use at the meeting by giving written notice of such revocation to the Secretary or other officer of the Company or by filing a new written proxy with an officer of the Company. Personal attendance at the meeting is not, by itself, sufficient to revoke a proxy unless written notice of the revocation or a subsequent proxy is delivered to an officer before the revoked or superseded proxy is used at the meeting.
Proxies not revoked will be voted in accordance with the choice specified by means of the ballot provided on the proxy for that purpose. Proxies which are signed but which lack any such specification will, subject to the following, be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in the notice of special meeting. If a shareholder abstains from voting as to any matter, then the shares held by such shareholder shall be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote with respect to such matter, but shall not be deemed to have been voted in favor of such matter. Abstentions, therefore, as to any proposal will have the same effect as votes against such proposal. If a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy, indicating a lack of voting instruction by the beneficial holder of the shares and lack of discretionary authority on the part of the broker to vote on a particular matter, then the shares covered by such non-vote shall be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but shall not be deemed to be represented at the meeting for purposes of calculating the vote required for approval of such matter.
The mailing address of the Company’s principal executive office is 2535 Pilot Knob Road, Suite 118, Mendota Heights Minnesota 55120. This proxy statement and the related proxy and notice of the special meeting will first be mailed to the shareholders on or about October ____, 2005.
VOTING RIGHTS AND REQUIREMENTS
VOTING SECURITIES
The Company’s Board of Directors has fixed October ___, 2006 as the “Record Date” for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting. Persons who were not shareholders of record at the close of business on such date will not be allowed to vote at the special meeting. At the close of business on September 30, 2006, there were approximately _______________ shares of the Company’s Common Stock and no shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Common Stock has 1 vote per share and Series A Preferred Stock has 25 votes per share.
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the special meeting will be tabulated by Gary Borglund who has been appointed as the inspector of election prior to the special meeting. He will also determine whether a quorum is present. In the event of any abstentions or broker non-votes with respect to any proposal coming before the special meeting, a proxy will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes typically will not be counted for purposes of approving any of the matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. A broker non-vote generally occurs when a broker or nominee who holds shares in street name for a customer does not have authority to vote on certain non-routine matters because its customer has not provided any voting instructions on the matter. Therefor e, abstentions and broker non-votes generally have no effect under Nevada law with respect to the election of directors or other matters requiring the approval of only a majority of the shares of common stock present and voting at the meeting.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXY
You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the start of our special meeting in three ways:
1. by delivering a written notice of revocation to Mr. Gary Borglund, the President of the Company, at 2535 Pilot Knob Road, Suite 118, Mendota Heights MN 55120;
2. by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or
3. by attending our special meeting and expressing the desire to vote your common shares in person (attendance at our special meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy).
DISSENTERS - RIGHTS OF APPRAISALS
Under Nevada law, shareholders of our common stock are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to our proposals.
QUORUM
The presence (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting of the holders of a number of shares representing more than __________ votes (in excess of one-half of the number of votes eligible to be voted at the special meeting) will constitute a quorum for transacting business.
VOTE REQUIRED
We are required to obtain the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting shares that are present or represented at the special meeting in order to affect the shareholder approvals described herein.
BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS - INSIDERS' INTENT TO VOTE IN FAVOR
Our Board of Directors has determined that the proposal is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved the proposal and recommends that the shareholders vote in favor of the proposal as well.
MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
AUTHORIZATION TO WITHDRAW AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Background
The Company is a closed-end investment company, which elected on December 6, 2004 to be regulated as BDC as that term is defined in Section 54(c) of the Investment Company Act (“the Act”). As a BDC, the Company is subject to the (“the Act”), including certain provisions applicable only to BDC’s (the “BDC Provisions”), although it is excepted from certain provisions of the Act applicable to registered closed-end investment companies. BDC’s generally are provided greater flexibility with respect to management compensation, capital structure, transactions among affiliates and other matters than registered closed-end investment companies. Nevertheless, as a BDC, the Company remains subject to significant regulation of its activities, as described below under “Investment Company Act Provisions Applicable to BDC’s.”
Historically, the Company intended to seek out investment securities as its core business, rather than operate businesses directly. The Company has determined, however, that in the current environment it would be better served to focus its efforts on the operation of businesses rather than act as a passive investor. In consideration of the planned future operations of the Company and its existing operations, the Board has evaluated and discussed the feasibility of the Company continuing as a BDC. The Board believes that given the changing nature of the Company’s business and investment focus from investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in investment securities toward that of an operating company whose focus will be on acquisitions of controlling investments in operating companies and assets, tha t the BDC’s is no longer appropriate and will hinder the Company’s future growth. In addition, the Board believes that the Company will not be required to be regulated under (“the Act”) under these circumstances.
In addition, the Company has been notified by the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), on August 22, 2005, that several aspects of the Form 1-E filing made by the Company on June 30, 2005, may be subject to regulatory review to determine compliance with various rules and regulations applicable to BDC’s. The Company has provided the Commission with certain requested information concerning the June 30, 2005, Form 1-E, but it is unclear whether or not the Commission will adhere to interpretations of applicable laws, rules and regulations adopted by the Company or whether or not the Commission will seek to curtail the Company’s operations as a BDC.
On October 13_, 2006, the Board unanimously approved the proposal to authorize the Board to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC as soon as practicable so that it may begin conducting business as an operating company rather than a BDC subject to the Act.
If the stockholders approve this proposal to permit the Company to withdraw its BDC election, the withdrawal will become effective upon receipt by the SEC of the Company’s application for withdrawal. The Company does not anticipate filing the application of withdrawal until it can be reasonably certain that the Company will not be deemed to be an investment company without the protection of its BDC election. After the Company’s application for withdrawal of its BDC election is filed with the SEC, the Company will no longer be subject to the regulatory provisions of the Act applicable to BDC’s generally, including regulations related to insurance, custody, composition of its Board, affiliated transactions and any compensation arrangements.
If this Proposal is approved by the stockholders and the Board does not withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC within six (6) months from the date of such approval, then the Company will present the matter to the stockholders again for approval prior to filing a withdrawal application.
The Company has undertaken several steps to meet the requirements for withdrawal of its election to be treated as a BDC, including: (i) preparing a plan of operations in contemplation of such a change to the status for the Company and (ii) consulting with outside counsel as to the requirements for withdrawing its election as a BDC and exemption or exclusion from being deemed an “investment company” under the Act. As of the date hereof, the Company believes that the Company meets the requirements for filing an application to withdraw its election to be treated as a BDC.
Investment Company Act Provisions Applicable to BDC’s
Generally, to be eligible to elect BDC status, a company must engage in the business of furnishing capital and offering significant managerial assistance to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. More specifically, in order to qualify as a BDC, a company must (a) be a domestic company; (b) have registered a class of its securities or have filed a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act; (c) operate for the purpose of investing in the securities of certain types of eligible portfolio companies, namely less seasoned or emerging companies and businesses suffering or just recovering from financial distress; (d) offer to extend significant managerial assistance to such eligible portfolio companies; and (e) fi le (or, under certain circumstances, intend to file) a proper notice of election with the SEC.
The Investment Company Act of 1940 also imposes, among others, the following regulations on BDC’s:
-The issuance of senior equities and debt securities by a BDC is subject to certain limitations;
-The issuance of warrants and options by a BDC is subject to certain limitations;
-A BDC may not engage in certain transactions with affiliates without obtaining exemptive relief from the SEC;
-A BDC may not change the nature of its business or fundamental investment policies without the prior approval of the stockholders;
-A BDC must carry its investments at value if a public trading market exists for its portfolio securities or fair value if one does not rather than at cost in its financial reports;
-The composition of a BDC’s Board is restricted (e.g., participation by investment bankers and certain other participants is limited), in addition, a majority of the Board must be independent members and certain activities by the Company must be approved by the independent members of the Board;
- There are prohibitions and restrictions on investing in certain types of companies, such as brokerage firms, insurance companies and other investment companies;
-There are limits on the types of assets that a BDC may acquire. A BDC may not acquire any asset other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time the acquisition is made, such “qualifying assets” represent at least 70% of the value of the BDC’s total assets. “Qualifying Assets” generally include: (i) securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer is an eligible portfolio company. An eligible portfolio company is defined as any issuer that (a) is organized and has its principal place of business in the United States, (b) is not an investment company other than a small business investment company wholly-owned by the BDC, and (c) does not have any class of publicly-traded securities with respect to which a b roker may extend credit; (ii) securities received in exchange for or distributed with respect to securities described above, or pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or rights relating to such securities; and (iii) cash, cash items, Government securities, or high quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment. A BDC may invest in the securities of public companies and other investments that are not “qualifying assets”, but such investments may not exceed 30% of the BDC’s total asset value at the time of such investment;
-A BDC generally may not issue common stock at a per share price less than the then-current net asset value of the common stock without the prior approval of stockholders, certain of which restrictions the Company may have violated; and
-A BDC is restricted in its ability to repurchase its shares directly from stockholders.
If the stockholders approve this proposal and the Board withdraws the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC, the Company would no longer be subject to regulation under the Act, which is designed to protect the interests of investors in investment companies. However, the Board would still be subject to customary principles of fiduciary duty with respect to the Company and its stockholders.
As an operating company, the Company (i) would not be limited in the amount of excessive leverage that it could incur, (ii) would be permitted to issue Restricted Stock absent an order from the SEC, and (iii) would not be limited in the amounts or types of compensation that it could pay to executives.
In addition, withdrawal of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC will not affect the Company’s registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, the Company is required to file periodic reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, proxy statements and other reports required under the Exchange Act. Withdrawal of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC is not expected to have any effect on the Company’s trading status on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Reasons for the Potential Withdrawal of the Company as a BDC
Given the investment focus, asset mix, business and operations of the Company as planned, the Board believes that it is prudent for the Company to withdraw its election as a BDC as soon as practicable to eliminate many of the regulatory, financial reporting and other requirements and restrictions imposed by the Act discussed above. For example:
-Issuance of Securities other than Common Stock.BDC’s are limited or restricted as to the type of securities other than common stock which they may issue. The issuance of convertible securities and rights to acquire shares of common stock (e.g., warrants and options) is restricted primarily because of the statutory interest in facilitating computation of the Company’s net asset value per share. In addition, issuances of senior debt and senior equity securities require that certain “asset coverage” tests and other criteria be satisfied on a continuing basis. This significantly affects the use of these types of securities because asset coverage continuously changes by variations in market prices of the Company's investment securities. Operating companies, including holding companies operating through s ubsidiaries, benefit from having maximum flexibility to raise capital through various financing structures and means.
-The Company previously issued shares of preferred stock and convertible debentures which may be deemed to be “senior securities” as defined under the Act. One of the reasons for the Company’s desire to withdraw as a BDC is to permit these shares of preferred stock and convertible debentures to continue to be part of the Company’s capitalization, as would be permitted for a non-BDC company.
-Related Party Transactions.(“The Act”) significantly restricts among other things (a) transactions involving transfers of property in either direction between the Company and most affiliated persons of the Company (or the affiliated persons of such affiliated persons) and (b) transactions between the Company and such affiliated persons (or the affiliated persons of such affiliated persons) participating jointly on the one hand and third parties on the other. To overcome these investment company restrictions, which are somewhat relaxed as applied to BDC’s, requires SEC approval, which is often a time-consuming and expensive procedure, regardless of the intrinsic fairness of such transactions or the approval thereof by disinterested directors of the Company. The Company believes situations may ar ise in which a corporation’s best interests are served by such transactions. The Board believes that stockholders are adequately protected by the fiduciary obligations imposed on the Company’s directors under state corporate law, which generally requires that the disinterested members of the Board determine fairness to the Company of an interested-party transaction (provided full disclosure of all material facts regarding the transaction and the interested party’s relationship with the Company is made), and SEC disclosure rules, which require the Company to include specified disclosure regarding transactions with related parties in its SEC filings.
-Business Focus.The nature of the Company’s business is changing from a business that intended to be in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in investment securities toward that of an operating company whose focus is on acquiring controlling interests in companies. The Board believes that BDC status and regulation would be inappropriate for such activities.
-Issuance of Common Stock.By virtue of its BDC election, the Company may not issue new shares of Common Stock at a per share price less than the then net asset value per share of outstanding Common Stock without prior stockholder approval. Conceivably, the market prices for “BDC” stock could be lower than net asset value, making it much more difficult for the BDC to raise equity capital. While this restriction provides stockholders of an investment company with appropriate and meaningful protection against dilution of their indirect investment interest in portfolio securities, the Company’s Board believes that this would essentially be irrelevant to the interests of investors in an operating company, who look to its consolidated earnings stream and cash flow from operations for investment value
-Compensation of Executives. The Act limits the extent to which and the circumstances under which executives of a BDC may be paid compensation other than in the form of salary payable in cash. For example, the issuance of Restricted Stock is generally prohibited. However, the Board believes that by achieving greater flexibility in the structuring of employee compensation packages, the Company will be able to attract and retain additional talented and qualified personnel and to more fairly reward and more effectively motivate its personnel in accordance with industry practice.
-Eligible Investments.As a BDC, the Company may not acquire any asset other than “Qualifying Assets” unless, at the time the acquisition is made, Qualifying Assets represent at least 70% of the value of the total assets (the“70% test”). Because of the limitations on the type of investments the Company may make, as well as the Company’s total asset composition, the Company may be foreclosed from participating in prudent investment opportunities and otherwise lack diversification.
Moreover, the Company must incur significant general and administrative costs in order to comply with the regulations imposed by the Act. Management devotes considerable time to issues relating to compliance with the Act and the Company incurs legal and accounting fees with respect to such matters. The costs of this regulation are borne by, and the protections of this regulation are for the benefit of, the stockholders of the Company. The Board believes that resources now being expended on the Act compliance matters could be utilized more productively if devoted to the operation of the Company’s business. The Board has determined that the costs of compliance with the Act are substantial, especially when compared to the Company’s relative size and net income, and that it would therefore be in the financial interest s of the stockholders for the Company to cease to be regulated under the Act altogether.
The Board believes that the above reasons, among others, indicate that the restrictions of the Act would have the effect of dampening market interest in the Company and hindering its financial growth in the future. The Board has determined that the most efficacious way to reduce these costs, improve profitability, and eliminate the competitive disadvantages the Company experiences due to compliance with the many requirements and restrictions associated with operating as a BDC under the Act would be to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC.
Effect of Election to Withdrawal as a BDC on the Company’s Financial Statements
In the event that the Board withdraws the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC and becomes an operating company, the fundamental nature of the Company’s business will change from that of investing in a portfolio of securities, with the goal of achieving gains on appreciation and dividend income, to that of being actively engaged in the ownership and management of operating businesses, with the goal of generating income from the operations of those businesses.
The election to withdraw the Company as a BDC under the Act will result in a significant change in the Company’s method of accounting. BDC financial statement presentation and accounting utilizes the value method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDC’s to recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost. As an operating company, the required financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held will be either fair value or historical cost methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment and the Company’s intent with respect to the period of time it intends to hold the investment. Change in the Company’s method of accounting could reduce the market value of its investments in privately held companies by eliminating the Company’s ability to report an increase in value of it holdings as they occur. Also, as an operating company, the Company would have to consolidate its financial statements with subsidiaries, thus eliminating the portfolio company reporting benefits available to BDC’s.
The Company does not believe that the withdrawal of its election to be treated as a BDC will have any impact on its federal income tax status, since it has never elected to be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. (Electing for treatment as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M generally allows a qualified investment company to avoid paying corporate level federal income tax on income it distributes to its stockholders.) Instead, the Company has always been subject to corporate level federal income tax on its income (without regard to any distributions it makes to its stockholders) as a “regular” corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. There will be no change in its federal income tax status as a result of it becoming an operating company.
Purpose of the Proposal; Need for Stockholder Approval
Section 58 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 provides that a BDC may not deregister as a BDC unless it is authorized to do so by a majority of its issued and outstanding voting securities.
Vote Required; Board Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S PROPOSAL TO WITHDRAW AS A BDC.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of the following:
COMMON STOCK
As of the Record Date, there were 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized with a par value of $.001 per share, of which approximately 16,339,520 shares were issued and outstanding. Each holder of the Company’s Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to the vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. All voting is non-cumulative, which means that the holder of fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for the election of the directors can elect all the directors. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefore.
Dividends on the Common Stock are declared by the Board of Directors. The payment of dividends on the Common Stock in the future, if any, will be determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, the payment of such dividends will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.
PREFERRED STOCK
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors has sole discretion in designating the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock. The Company presently has one (1) class or series of Preferred Stock outstanding.
Series A Preferred Stock –The Company has no shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock on a 25-for-1 basis, and the conversion ratio, as adjusted by forward or reverse stock splits. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-interest bearing, has voting rights consistent with conversion rights, i.e., each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 25 votes. In the event of a liquidation event, the Series A Preferred Stock participates equally with holders of shares of Common Stock based on the foregoing formula. As of the Record Date, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2006 the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock (i) by any person or group known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) by each Director and executive officer and (iii) by all Directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the holders of the shares shown in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.
